Desalted molasses stillage as cattle feed.Peer-reviewed article

F. ŠTROS, R. PETKOVOVÁ, V. VARVAŽOVSKÝ

Experiments which have been carried out first on laboratory scale and later on an industrial one confirm that molasses stillage can be desalted very efficiently and economically by precipitating potassium - calcium sulphate. The process is very simple. The content of potassium can be reduced by 70 % and content of ashes in dry matter by 40 - 50 %. So far it is not clear, whether sludge, the amount of which is rather high, can be utilized as fertilizer or not. Thickened desalted stillage, if added to cattle daily rations in quantities not exceeding 1,5 kg per day, has no harmful effect and the increase of live weight is the same as with adding 1 kg of molasses.
